JOBS-002 application table and workspace verification

Updated: 2026-08-15

Confirmed baseline

• JobTable owned search, filters, sort and page only in React state.
• ?open= opened the legacy quick dialog and was immediately removed from the URL.
• “Open application workspace” navigated to /applications/:id; its Back control always navigated to a fresh /jobs.
• The existing full-page workspace already composes the owner-scoped checklist, intelligence, CV, cover-letter, attachment, correspondence and interview components. It is reused rather than duplicated.

Superseded overlay increment

• The route-backed overlay was a verified intermediate design, but the user explicitly requested a dedicated page instead of a popup.
• DEC-068 supersedes DEC-065. No new navigation emits ?open= or ?workspace=.

Increment 2 — canonical dedicated workspace

• /jobs/:id is the canonical workspace route; /applications/:id is a query-preserving compatibility redirect.
• The entire desktop row and mobile card navigate to the workspace. Buttons, links, checkboxes and menus remain independent controls; keyboard users can open a focused row with Enter or Space.
• Expandable detail rows and the legacy popup are removed from the applications-list flow. The table now prioritises company, role, location, status, applied date, elapsed days, deadline and optional source URL.
• The workspace aggregate now includes discovery date, full/translated advert text, language, tags, notes and available source/country provenance. Job Details renders these without overflowing and exposes the existing editor.
• Workflow, quick-command, correspondence and Gmail-review links route to the appropriate dedicated workspace section.
• Correspondence and Gmail Review are removed from primary sidebar navigation; the global inbox routes remain available for compatibility and genuinely global review work.
• Return navigation preserves the complete URL-owned list state, including when a workspace section changes.

Verification

• Focused Jest: workspace/table and workflow routing — 8/8 pass.
• Focused backend workspace aggregate: 9/9 pass.
• Production build: pass. Standalone repository-wide tsc --noEmit still exposes pre-existing React Router test-prop and target errors; no new application-source error was reported.
• Evidence: V-158–V-162 in docs/audits/verification-log.md.

Remaining before completion

• URL-owned list state is implemented for search, status, company, location, follow-up, readiness, deleted visibility, sort/direction and page. Direct hydration and dedicated-page return pass focused tests; real-browser refresh/history remains.
• Add a shared dirty-edit close/navigation guard for workspace sections that own unsaved content.
• Add real-browser 375/768/1440, light/dark, keyboard/focus restoration, refresh/history, error and long-content evidence.
• Run tenant-authorization regressions and the production smoke gate.
